Following a temporary interruption of the power
supply, the operation of some equipment is lim-
ited and must be reinitialized. Individual settings
are also lost and have to be updated:
>Active steering
The system is deactivated and has to be ini-
tialized, refer to page86. Until then, the
steering will react in an unaccustomed
manner.
>Seat, mirror and steering wheel memory
The position must be stored again, refer to
page46.
>Time and date
The settings must be updated, refer to
page78.
>Radio
Radio stations have to be stored again, refer
to page138.
>Navigation system
You must wait until it becomes operational
again, refer to page129.
Fuses
Never attempt to repair a blown fuse, and
do not replace a defective fuse with a sub-
stitute of another color or amperage rating, as
this could lead to overloading of the wiring, ulti-
mately resulting in a fire in the vehicle.<
Spare fuses and a pair of plastic tweezers are
located in the compartment for the onboard tool
kit, refer to page180.
Information on fuse allocation is located below
the bracket for the onboard tool kit, see below.
In glove compartment

partition1 and pull out the partition upward,
arrow2.
2.Press the coupling downward, arrow3, and
fold the lid 4 forward.

Emergency call*
Conditions for an emergency call:
>Ignition key in position 1 or greater.
>The car phone is logged on to a portable
telephone network.
>The emergency call system is operable.
Coupe: emergency call button.
Convertible: emergency call button.
Initiating emergency call
1.To open the protective cover of the emer-
gency call button:
Briefly press the protective cover.
2.Press the emergency call button for at least
2seconds.
The indicator lamp in the button lights up.
As soon as the voice connection to the
BMW Assist response center has been
established, the indicator lamp flashes.
If conditions allow, remain in the vehicle until
the connection has been established. You will
then be able to provide a detailed description of
the situation.
In vehicles with BMW Assist enabled, if the cur-
r en t p o s it i o n o f y o u r v eh i c le c a n b e d et e r m in e d ,
it will be transmitted to the BMW Assist
response center.
Enabling BMW Assist, refer to page159.
If the indicator lamp flashes, but you are unable
to hear the BMW Assist response center
through the hands-free system, this could indi-
cate, for instance, that the hands-free system is
no longer operational. However, the BMW
Assist response center may then still be able to
hear you.
Under certain conditions, an emergency call is
initiated automatically immediately after a
severe accident. An automatic emergency call
is not affected by the emergency call button
being pressed.
For technical reasons, the emergency call
cannot be guaranteed under unfavorable
conditions.<
